Madhmoun Regulation in Abu Dhabi: Everything You Need to Know

Buying, selling, or renting property in Abu Dhabi has just become more transparent and secure thanks to the introduction of Madhmoun (مضمون), the official property advertisement verification system launched by the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC).

At Masterpiece Property, we believe our clients deserve clarity and confidence when dealing in real estate. This guide will help you understand what Madhmoun is, how it works, and why it matters.

What is Madhmoun?

Madhmoun, which means “verified” in Arabic, is a permit system that ensures every property listing in Abu Dhabi is authentic and officially approved. Whether it is a villa, apartment, or commercial space, all listings must now carry a Madhmoun permit before being advertised online or offline.

The system is managed through the DARI platform and verifies details like ownership, property size, and status. This eliminates duplicate, fake, or misleading listings.

Who Needs a Madhmoun Permit?

Madhmoun applies to everyone involved in property transactions in Abu Dhabi, including:

Property Owners and Landlords: Required to verify their properties before listing
Developers and Brokers: Must ensure every advertisement includes a valid permit
Advertising Platforms and Portals: Listings cannot go live unless they carry a Madhmoun permit number

Why is Madhmoun Important?

Madhmoun is designed to raise standards across the Abu Dhabi property market by:

Protecting buyers and tenants by removing fake or outdated listings
Boosting market transparency by ensuring accurate property information is shared
Increasing trust by helping verified landlords and brokers stand out
Reducing disputes by providing clear documentation and verified details

How to Get a Madhmoun Permit

Applying for a permit is a straightforward process:

Prepare your documents including title deed, ownership papers, and property details
Log in to the DARI platform provided by ADREC
Submit your request for a Madhmoun permit including the brokerage agreement if needed
Receive verification and approval from ADREC
Advertise your property confidently with your Madhmoun permit number

Permits must be renewed if the listing remains active and canceled if the property is withdrawn from the market.
